An Angel Rose

The shades are drawn / The nights are dank
Your arms are wide /No one to thank
The beast in you /Has been unleashed
Give your convictions /An early release
You be fair / And I'll be square
Hold tight to the illusion / That I still care
These games we play / Go on too long
Think I'll pick up this guitar/And right some wrongs
1000 masters /Servant of none
I'm here for the liquor/ And some good clean fun
You bent the wire/ Until it snapped
You were hot as fire/ But I still felt trapped
In a house that burned/ In a haunted keep
The bed frame melted/ While we counted sheep
And from the dust/An angel rose
In a black leather suit/And a rock star pose
She hit the circuit/She slayed them all
She was born of dreams/ And answered the call
From Idaho /To Amsterdam
A new messiah/With an all star band
She crossed the ocean/She crossed the line
She did it all /in 4/4 time
She sunk her teeth into that meat/Embers still burning feeling that heat

Gettin' On Down Tonight
03:15
|

shapin and a shiftin
and a rollin and a driftin
a feelin and a fallin
and a weeblin and a wobblin
A failing and succeeding
and a begging and a pleading
not knowing where you going
is the only way to go and
I got a hundred dollars
and a clean starched collar
We're getting on down tonight
I'm a boy who loves his mother
and is kind to his brother
don't need no one to tell me
nothin in this life is free
i got a hole in my pocket
gonna shoot off like a rocket
got a one way ticket
Destination you can't pick it
I'm a lover and fighter
A licker and a biter
We're gettin on down tonight
Interstellar space travel
The judge he bangs his gavel
Says its just a pipe dream
That may be the way it seems
But when we're hangin out in bars
Over on Jupiter or Mars
We'll have the last laugh
When he acknowledges his gaff
They say 147
is the new 111
We're getting on down tonight
Some say God isn't real
That depends on how you feel
If he's with you right now
have him stand and take a bow
He's done one helluva job to
inspire the angry mob
Who light torches in his name
look for somebody to blame
Blame the muslims, blame the jews
Next time they might blame you
We're getting on down tonight
Well you're born and then you're dead
Now go and get that through your head
I'm in information retrieval
I ain't no Evil Kneivel
But one slip on icy stairs
And it's all just splitting hairs
End up in the same place
With or without a suitcase
If there is another side
I won't be trying to hide
We're getting on down tonight

It Ain't Right

You get a hollowed out tree
Put wires on the wood
play it for a year or two
Or until you get really good
Go and ask for a job at the local bar
Tell 'em you're the next big thing
You're gonna be a star
Mmmm you sure can play the guitar x2
You never could get the girl
Never been on a date
But then you picked up that six string
And it sealed your fate
Now everyone in town, they want to know your name
And life as you know it ain't never gonna be the same
Mmmmm you sure can play that guitar x2
A man from the big time, he came to see your show
He had a few too many
You told him where he could go
Now you're down on the street
And you're playing for change
Life's a funny thing
Yeah it sure is strange
Mmmm you sure can play the guitar x2

Train Blues
07:31

200 hundred dollars and a bottle of jack
this train keeps a rollin X2
girl on my mind and a monkey on my back
train keeps a rollin X2
an hour and a half until our destination
I'm looking at 25 years incarceration
got a heavy heart from the things i've done
It takes a hard man to live this life on the run
I sleep with a sharp blade under my bed
comes down to him or me, he'll be the one who ends up dead
bridge
train keeps a rollin on through the night
nothin but the darkness in its sight
hounds are howlin and the moon is full
where its gonna stop nobody knows
when i was a kid i always flew straight
loved everyone had no time for the hate
then a girl came along ripped my heart in two
the devil on my shoulder knew what he had to do
If only these shackles weren't weighing me down
I'd take this train, turn my life around
once you're on that track it can be hard to see
wake up to realize that you can never be free

Keep Movin' On
02:59

keep on riding til the road runs out
keep on trying til there's left no doubt
keep on hurtin til you feel no pain
keep on pumpin the blood through your veins
keep on living til your last breath's drawn
keep on movin , keep a movin on
keep on going til you get gone
keep on learning til you know you're all wrong
keep on laughing til tears fall from your eyes
keep on spoiling til there is no surprise
keep on living til your last breath's drawn
keep on movin , keep a movin on
keep your head on , keep it on straight
don't go dreamin' about the pearly gates
keep your feet firmly planted on the ground
cause if there's a heaven , lord knows you're hell bound
keep on living til your last breath's drawn
keep on movin , keep a movin on
keep on searching for something new
keep on doing what it is you do
keep on thinking about why it is the way it is
may not get an answer, but there ain't gonna be no pop quiz
keep on living til your last breath's drawn
keep on movin , keep a movin on

You'll Come Around To Me
03:14
|

you'll come around to me
you'll come around to me
one day you're gonna see
and you'll come around to me
my lovin's gonna set you free x2
if you believe destiny
you'll come around to me
the heart can't divide the line x2
straight as an arrow or left behind
the heart can't divide the line
i know you got a worried head x2
put those past deeds to bed
i know you got a worried head
i'm a messenger without a message
i'm a song without a rhyme
i am optimism's last vestige
i am the future running out of time
i am the grim reaper kissing babies
i am the goldfish holding its breath
in a world full of yes, no, and maybe's
i'm the crack whore on crystal meth
i'm a weaving in and out of traffic
i'm a bottle full of sleeping pills
i'm a one last scuba diving lesson
i'm a giving myself the chills
i'm a wasted most hours of most days
i'm a walking into walls and missing doors
i think i'm working up to something
i'm a gonna settle me some old scores
you'll come around to me
you'll come around to me
one day you're gonna see what you've been missin'
and you'll come around to me

Tom Savage Kingston, Ontario
Tom Savage is what one might refer to as a triple-threat. One part truth-telling troubadour, one part death-defying guitar slinger, and one part Country Blues howler. Each facet of his formidable on-stage persona carefully crafted over a 20+ year devotion to the composition and performance of song. Tom is a true believer. A disciple of melody and harmony and tempo and timbre. ... more
